suenteus po 147: Pretty impressive performance by Nakamura. Not only did he finish first, undefeated with six wins, but he had two games over 100 moves, and only one draw under 40 moves. That's the kind of champion many American chess fans want: a fighter and a winner.

Atking: Yes it was great! Thanks and congratulations to Naka for his fighting spirit and his wonderful result. (No lost! And I keep the impression the one with Lenderman was to Nakamura's advantage. In brief not a 11/0 but still a Fischer like performance).

It also uses the 3 1 0. That is 3 points for classical win, 1 point for the armageddon blitz "punt" win, and 0 for the loss. This is incorporated in the London Rule, that is no agreed draw till move 40.
